Metal Detecting

Tarot · 09-02-2005, 14:07

I have just moved to the area and I am a keen metal detectorist. I have had several successful years in the hobby. I am not a member of a club in this area but am registered with F.I.D. I use a Whites XLT and Minelab Sovereign.
Are there any other local detectorists in Accrington looking for a partner, or just like to chat about this great hobby.

This is something I've always fancied having a go at but never got round to it. Have you ever found anything interesting?

I really want to take up the hobby again, although I am a bit bothered about the lack of places to go. I have my eye on a Whites prism V, but cannot justify paying the money if there is nowhere to go, as I have found farmers in this area seem to have something to hide. So if you know of any good sites around here Tarot I would take up my favorite hobby again and join you for a good days hunting, I live in the Oswaldtwistle area.

I tried it for a short time, but like fireman found that I wasn't welcome (I think thats just down to me not the metal-detector), but have always fancied doing it properly, so if you can give me some worthwile advice like Wingy I'm all ears. (sorry wingy couldn't resist it!

).

Maybe we should start our own East Lancs club.

I too have always had a bit of a bee in my bonnet about it but never spoken to anyone who does it .I could be interested.

Thanks for the response and local interest to my first post on Metal Detecting. The starting of a local club would be a great idea, and I have been on the commitee of previous clubs and been the NCMD Federation Rep. I am just starting a new job in this area so will be quite busy over the next month or so. When things quiet down we could arrange a meeting to discuss things and I could bring some finds along to stir some interest. If all of you that are interested could send me an email to tarot1956@aol.com , I will contact you all when I am settled into my new job.

Kind Regards Tarot (Bob Dixon)
